4 Classification
4.1 General
Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First and Turn-Only hardware for windows and door height windows shall be classified
in accordance with the four box coding system (see Table 1).
Table 1 — Classification system of hardware
Box 1 2 3 4
Durability Mass Corrosion resistance Test sizes
4.2 Durability (1 – first box)
The first box shall display the grade applied to the durability test in accordance with 5.3:
— grade H1: 5 000;
— grade H2: 10 000;
— grade H3: 20 000.
4.3 Mass (2 – second box)
The second box shall display the maximum tested sash-mass (weight).
The mass range starts from 10 kg and varies in steps of 5 kg up to 50 kg. After that the mass varies
unlimited in steps of 10 kg. An unlimited number of grades are identified, whereby 010 is the lowest.
Table 2 — Tested sash-mass

(kg)
The mass of the test sash shall be determined in accordance with the claims made by the hardware
manufacturer.
4.4 Corrosion resistance (3 – third box)
The third box shall display the grade regarding corrosion resistance in accordance with 5.7.
4.5 Test sizes (4 – fourth box)
The fourth box shall display the test sizes which were used for testing the Tilt and Turn, Tilt-First and
Turn-Only hardware components or sets.
All sizes are stated in mm, SRW × SRH (SRW = Sash Rebate Width, SRH = Sash Rebate Height) with a
tolerance of ± 10 mm.
— 1 300 mm ⤬ 1 200 mm (applicable only for hardware for max. sash mass ≤ 130 kg);

The stated sizes are test sizes only. They do not relate to the maximum sizes to which a window may be
fabricated with the tested hardware.
The manufacturer shall ensure, in accordance with the appropriate product documentation, that with the
application of the tested hardware in window sizes deviating from the test sizes, the forces on the
hardware do not exceed those during the durability test.

5 Requirements
5.1 Dangerous substances
Materials in products should not release any dangerous substances in excess of the maximum levels
specified in the European material standards and any national regulations.
5.2 Mechanical stability
5.2.1 Stability of the scissor stay
The scissors stay shall ensure that a sash, when operated incorrectly (mishandled), is securely held.
In case of mishandling, the hinges (scissor stay with stay bearing and corner pivot rest with sash hinge)
shall still demonstrate a connection between the sash and the frame and afterwards function in its
intended manner.
If the scissors stay does not fulfil this requirement, a mishandling device shall be installed. In this case
the test takes place in accordance with Clause 7 with an installed mishandling device.
5.2.2 Mechanical strength of hinges
Hinges which have a scissor stay with a stay bearing and corner pivot rest with sash hinge shall guide the
sash securely during every operating position.
Such hinges (scissor stay arm with stay bearing and corner pivot rest with sash hinge) shall be tested
with static load, as described in Figure 1 and Figure 2, which correspond to a fivefold load value of the
frame hinges under test procedures specified in Clause 7 (see load value “F” from Table 3 and Table 4).
The test consists of testing 20 individual hardware components of each type of hinges (see 7.2).
Concealed corner pivot rest shall not be tested.
There may be no cracks or damage on any of the tested hinges, which influence the proper functioning to
hold the sash in the intended application, with the exception of installing and positioning aids (or
